Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, of Virginia, does not
believe in permitting politics to interfere
with the harmony of the Veteran ASsocia-
tions Of that State Some opposition was
manifested to John S Wise becoming a
member of Lee Camp, Confederate Veteran
Association, and Gov. Lee learning of it,
wrote a letter in which he said: II write to
express the hope that no objection viii be
made upon the part of any member to Capt
Wise joining the association. The creden-
tials aud membership are based upon the
Confederate's record as a man, and not upon
his politics, and should be.very sorry to
hear that fealty to either political party was
the test of qualification to membership of
the Lee Camp

Admission to the Bar.

A Swedish gentleman who recently visited
Georgia expressed much surprise to friend
on account of the youth of the men whom
he found at the head of important business
enterprises. His surprise, however, gave
place to pleasure when he observed how sue
cessfully such enterprises were conducted.
Subsequently he inquired at what age one
could obtain license to practice law or medi-
cine. The reply, as far as it related to
license to practice law, evidently astonished
him, for he wrote in his notebook: I'm the
State of Georgia, U. S. A, boys are per-
mitted to practice law! What a country"
A statute of Georgia once required that
an applicant for admission to the bar should
be 81 years of age. When Thomas R. R.
Cobb completed his college course he APP
piled for admission, but was refused because
he was too young. His friends, who were
determined that the obstacle in his way
should be removed, induced the General
Assembly to repeal the statute that has been
mentioned. 1t has never been re-enacted,
and hence boy of Is, if he is prepared to
pass the necessary examination, may obtain
license to practice in the Georgia courts q
young men not of age have been admitted to
the bar. The result has certainly not been
altogether bad, but it has not been entirely
good. 1t is believed by many that the bar
of Georgia does not average as high as it
once did. An old lawyer, one who win
never forgive Jack Jones for introducing his
"short FORMS into the practice, says that
breaches of professional honor are more
numerous now than formerly. 1t is doubt
full, however, if the youth of those who are
admitted to the bar is the cause of this I'M
happy fact It is more probable that the
farcical examinations of applicants are the
cause of it; for it is well-known that men of
small legal attachments and of less charac-
ter are thus sometimes admitted to circle
from which they ought to be debarred.
The chief objection to admitting very
young men to the bar is that a majority of
them lack both Judgment and knowledge
of the law. Very few of them devote them
selves closely to the study of the law The
truth is, there are lawyers in Georgia whose
| library consists of the Code alone, and who
devote the greater part of their time to local
| politics.
The Georgia Bar Association has had the
! question of raising the standard of admis-
| sion to the bar under consideration, but. it
seems, has been unable to reach a conclusion.
II could not do the State a greater service
than to advise the raising of this standard

Fears are entertained at Washington that
the national drill viii prove a fail
ure. All efforts to provoke enthusiasm
with regard to it have failed. Some Of
those who are interested in it blame the
made a mighty pretense of offering cheap
excursion rates to Washington, but are
really keeping the people away by refusing
to allow parties of less than twenty-five TO
profit by the reduction. II the drill is not a
success some of the Washington hotel
keepers will feel like going into mourning.

Earnings OF a Great Singer.

Patti left for her home in Wales on Sat
urday. While in this country she gave fifty
four performances, for which she received
S220,0009 For each appearance in concert
she was guaranteed $500, and was given
an interest in the receipts. The average
amount that she got out of each concert was
50, 800. Every time that she sang in opera
she was paid 5000 She spent money
freely at all the hotels at which she stopped.
Her expenses at the Windsor Hotel, New
York, were SIS day. 1t is estimated that
she carried to Europe with her as the profits
of her season in this country 100000
1t is doubtful if any other singer ever had
such earning power as she has. The most
celebrated singers of the past did not COM
mand anything like the prices that she does
Indeed, the greatest writers, lawyers and
business men fall far behind her in their
earning capacity 1t is probable that
there are great spectators who
now and then make more than
100000 in the course of few months, but
they do not depend upon their knowledge
and skill alone. They are aided by an inn
mense capital. Without that they could do
nothing Patti depends alone upon her
powers as a singer and her reputation.
Those who struggle through the world,
barely able to keep the wolf from the door,
must think that fortunes favors are very
unevenly distributed when they read of the
immense sums which are paid her for sing
ing few hours in an evening The world,
however, can afford one Patti.

eat and finest looking depot on the
Santa Fe railroad between this city
and San Bernardino, and the
citizens are proud OF having
contributed largely to pay for it.
For short time it has been with
ont station agent on account of the
resignation of the gentleman who has
served the people there from the open
ing of the San Gabriel Valley railroad
to the present time. To fill the vacan-
cy the management of the road has
promised to send an agent there equal
ly as competent, and who will also be
able to run the telegraph wires.
The passenger and freight business
of this station have been increasing
rapidly, for the past few months, and
it promises to be one of the most pop
ular and prosperous of the many ST.
burban localities. In order to accom-
modate the rush of new comers. its
interested citizens are building as
many cottages and small houses for
rent as they can get lumber and work
men with which to construct them.

Gerald CarIey, n Lost Roy Taken
in by the Police.
Three nights ago, boy about IL
years of age, who gave the name OF
Gerald Carley, accosted Officer Van
Luren at the new depot and said that
he did not know where to find his
mother, who had been here about
four weeks, as he had lost her address
and having just arrived from Sacra-
mento did not know the streets in Los
Angeles. Van Luven discovering
that the boy was hungry first paid for
his supper and then conveyed him to
the Station where he was well cared
for, Captain Fletcher making special
efforts to find the address OF Gerald's 8
mother. Last night Mrs. Carley sailed
into the police office and Immediately
tarted in to abuse Fletcher because
he had not sent "Gerald, her darl-
ing" to hotel until she was found, /,
instead of keeping him at the Station.
AS Mrs. Carley did not intimate that
she was willing to return Van Luven's
rs cents for her darling Gerald's sup
per, Fletcher did not object to
asking her where he would have
been if he had run hotel bill to safe
guard her wounded meternal feeling.

Three Cases which Have Been
Before the People.
Frank Lightner, the man brought
from Pomona to the county Jail on
Wednesday, was examined by med
ical commission and ordered sent to
the County Hospital, as he is great
deal more sick than insane.
Guy w. Vinton. the real estate
dealer who made so many insane
breaks during the last few days, awoke
yesterday morning fully enjoying his
mental capacities. He inquired anx-
iously if he had hurt anybody during
his temporary alteration and was
much relieved when he heard he had
not. He said that he recollected dis
tinctly kicking in the door of his cell.
His insane attacks are periodical. He
will be kept in the county Jail until
his eastern friends remove him.
Mrs. M. Foster, the crazy German
woman whom her husband took away
from the Jail on Wednesday morning,
was found wandering around in the
middle of the night by the police
yesterday and rearrested. An exam
ination of her was made yesterday by
commission of medical men, who
agreed to examine her again to-mor-
row in the hope that the mental ex-
element under which she labors, and
which is expected to be temporary,
may then have subsidized.

ton Of the Superior Court condemning
certain land owned by D. Garcia, To-
Gated in San Juan Capistrano, being a
small lot through which a right OF

not a corporation, but only an associa-
tion consisting of several pretended
organizations, but it had never filed
articles of incorporation in the county.
At the preliminary hearing it was
shown that Refugia de Yorba de Gar
cia was also party interested in the
ownership of the land, but had not
been made a defendant in the original
complaint, when it was ordered by
the Court that the complaint be
amended by interlineations and inser-
tions VI the name, making him a de-
fendant in the action.
The case was then continued in
definitely by the Court.
